I agree, it doesn't mean anything really.

The end result (pun intended) was a good day & night's riding with a good bumch of riders.
How lucky were we with the night ride? Almost inch-perfect, warm & dry.
See you next year for much of the same.

First event like this for me and i really enjoyed it, good course especially the cottage return section, even more so at night 😀

Were there any Singlespeed teams in the top 14 of the 12hr open mens category as if not i can claim to be in the highest placed SS team?

Oh and any pics of someone in a blue top for team 514 would be good as Joolze or Mr Joolze dont have any 🙁

over 2,500 pictures and none of me so far! 😥

I wasn't that easy to miss only rider doing the torchbearer in Royal Navy Kit and I did the river crossing EVERY lap! 😀

Does anyone have anything they would be willing to pass on? 🙄

Rob.

I have this vision in my mind's eye of a bloke creating absolute mayhem below decks as you belt around the sub, on a bike, doing lap after lap, meanwhile the rest of the crew try to do some work around you!

I guess in my film you'll be directed by the Cohen Bros and have to be George Cooney.

Lets just say I did more consecutive laps than I had anticipated! 8)

You've spent far too much time infront of Hollywood make believe! 😕

If you wish to replicate cycling on board a “boat” remove everything from your under stairs cupboard, put an ancient decrepit exercise bike in there, then pack as many boxes of tinned veg around as you can leaving just enough room to get on the bike. 😆

Now start your training but make sure before you do you brief your wife/ partner/ house mates that during every training period you are to be interrupted you every ten minutes, climbing past you to check the gas meter/ pull out a tin from the very furthest point. Now repeat for periods of up to 8 weeks! 😡

That's why I left ❗

You left the broom cupboard (& job) to go cycling out-doors? In the time of a recession.

Are you Harry Potter? 😛
